Make-believe police in UK have power to issue on-the-spot fines

They can even "stop vehicles for the purpose of testing." Dominic Grieve, the Conservative shadow home secretary, said the scheme was the latest example of the unjustified extension of s Continue reading
The Value of Consultants
naked_waitress-01 Photo by: nomanches A tip of the turban to pela68 who blogs at Gummihund/Rubberdog and a proud Orangutan for this timeless lesson on how consultants can make a difference for an organization. Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange. When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked ar Continue reading
14 Days to Determine a Season: Game 7 — Halfway Home and Span is the Man
You know what? The Twins were down 4-3 before plating three in the 8th yesterday to take a lead that they would not relinquish, but with the way things went at Safeco Field this year, I wouldn’t be surprised to find that the Twins just stormed into the clubhouse, skipped showering, grabbed their stuff and hit the road. The place is possessed. The sixth ring of hell. Just get the freak out of Seattle! The good news is that Minnesota failed to play Twins baseball but found a way to take one fro Continue reading
InKleined To Forget
 Joe Klein reviles the GOP’s negative attack ads against Obama, but appears to suffer from selective memory loss:  (Obama has tried to strike back, but creative personal attacks just seem foreign to the Democrats’ DNA.) Uh, really? The release of a 30-year-old DUI 48 hours before the 2000 election? The publication, on national TV, of forged Guard documents claiming W shirked his duty? The repeated attacks that Bush “dodged” Vietnam when in fact he was doing F-102 fighter pilot duty that wa Continue reading

Penguins, Part Two
Programming note: I am out of town this weekend and by out of town I mean out of the country and in a location without television, internet, telephones, or other early twentieth century amenities. Some may call it a destination free from the harassments of work, I call it a wooded cell named Quebec. That is all the information I can give you because a further written description will cause a physical reaction typically the exclusive province of 5 year olds.

Thoughts on DNC Day 2
DAY 2: Janet Napolitano, Governor of Arizona: 5. It is often the job of the officeholder from the other party’s nominee’s home state to play attack dog, because presumably you know the opponent more intimately than the rest of the country because he’s from your state. Gov. N. failed miserably in this task. Her worst line was “Arizona has seen lots of native sons run for president. Barry Goldwater. Mo Udall. Bruce Babbitt, and now John McCain. Goldwater Lost. Udall Lost. Babbitt lost. Now that’ Continue reading
Defining misfortune down
The guy who invented the "health savings accounts" that are the center of the McCain health care plan (such as it is) has a simple idea for dealing with the crisis of the uninsured: define it out of existence. If you can get to the emergency room, you can get health care, he says, so everyone has health coverage. The only problem is that we're counting wrong: I have a solution. And it will cost not one thin dime. The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring th Continue reading
Harvey Nichols: Is this upscale department store going to the dogs?
Harvey Nichols: Is this upscale department store going to the dogs? August 28th, 2008 Stylish British department store Harvey Nichols is going to the dogs. Well, a man and his dog, to be precise. Harvey Nichols recently announced that it is teaming up with the animated team of Wallace & Gromit, the claymation stars of "The Wrong Trousers," "A Close Shave" and "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit." This might mean little to readers not familiar with British culture, but imagine "The Simpsons" Continue reading

Dr. Dog - The Ark (Adam Kurland)
I like this a bunch. Not sure if it’s because I dig the song so much or because the video is appealing. Does it matter either way? You should still watch it and tell us what you think. It’s certainly the best Dr. Dog video yet! Dr. Dog’s Fate is out now on Park the Van Records. Continue reading
Dog Drinking Slow Motion Capture

Can I breathe now???
OK, back safely from camping!! When I have a spare moment I will upload pictures and tell you all about it. It was lovely! We discovered that Pete and I are too old to sleep comfortably on the ground like we used to and that late August nights are really cold at this latitude - frost warning the first night, ugh! But it was so much fun. I highly recommend KOA's too btw. Nice places and they make camping with kids soooo easy! I'm just going to grab a quick shower and head out to Amy's Open H Continue reading
Faces of Bosco

Why does this cat always try to hang out with me? ————— Dude, trying to sleep and I don’t need a camera in my face. ————— Car ride, car ride, car ride, car ride…….. ————— Nice to meet you smiley blue stranger, we shall play n Continue reading
Three Schweitzer stories
I've spent a great deal of time up in Montana the past couple of years. First, I went up with Jerome Armstrong to do research for our book Crashing the Gate. We met with Schweitzer, with then-candidate Jon Tester, and lots of cool local activists then working to turn Montana blue. We even experience a moment of a lifetime when -- having to get from Big Sandy in eastern Montana to Whitefish in western Montana -- we flew a chartered single-prop plane, through Glacier National Park. We loved it s Continue reading
ONE SUMMER DAY::ONE SUMMER TRACK ... THE VERY END.
We can talk until we're blue, or red, or whatever in the face about the future of Roe v. Wade, but that -- "that" being "the on-paper right to abortion" -- doesn't mean much to the women who cannot get legal abortions. Not the women who cannot get legal abortions if Cain-Mcay ecomes-bay esident-pray; the women who cannot get legal abortions now. (Reasons are both real and underinformed: "I'll be fired for leaving work," "I'll have to tell my parents," "No one around here will do it after 12 wee Continue reading
